1 Corinthians 11:33-34
33 Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

After all things are laid out and addressed concerning the remembrance of the Lord in the supper, the therefore comes. We must do this together as a body, not individually as self-seeking and self-gratifying ones. If the appetite cannot be controlled, eat first at home, then come together. Otherwise we answer to God. Remember Ananias and Saphira. We are to honor God as His body, which means we all consider each other in all things, especially those of Him. This is the healthy church in daily action. Paul ends here with the reminder that there are many such things to consider, and he will speak to them face to face about those. We should also dialog with the elders and pastors toward orderly life and worship.
